In Bell Mountain, where Supreme Daolian had waited for ages for a rumored Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure, two cultivators hunted a Dragon Eagle Beast when the mountain’s bell rang.

• The two cultivators saw an enormous ancient bell rise from the mountain range.

Lin Yunji and the Supremes fought over a bronze bell that repeatedly escaped their grasp. After Supreme Daolian briefly won it and was killed by the others, Lin Yunji protected Daolian’s fleeing primordial spirit and attacked Ancestor Heigu instead.

• Ancestor Heigu arrived and mocked Supreme Daolian as Lin Yunji sensed more Supremes approaching.
• The bronze bell vanished from Lin Yunji’s grasp and reappeared a million li away, prompting the Supremes to chase it as it repeatedly escaped and changed hands.

Lin Yunji drove Supreme Heigu away, then unleashed his Blood Sha Puppets and allies against the Supremes fighting over the Que-Destroying Soul-Startling Bell. Protected by three Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasures, he fought seven Supremes at once, killed two, and turned his assault on the blue-robed Supreme.

• Supreme Heigu summoned his dark souls to attack Lin Yunji, but fled and apologized when Lin Yunji revealed two Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasures.
• Lin Yunji released nearly a hundred thousand Blood Sha Puppets and summoned You Han and Jiu Lu to fight the Supremes contesting the Que-Destroying Soul-Startling Bell.

• Lin Yunji summoned the Universe Furnace and blasted two Supremes without Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasures into dust, scattering their primordial spirits.
• Lin Yunji attacked the blue-robed Supreme, whose treasured sword cracked under the force of Lin Yunji's blows.

• Eight Supremes arrived later and discovered that Lin Yunji’s Qi signature had vanished.
• The Supremes condemned Lin Yunji for violating the Mandala Realm’s rules, and the withered old man asked their leader, Kunsheng, what he thought.

• Lin Yunji punished the bell for allowing the disciples to refine it, and the two disciples knelt and begged him to spare them.

• Lin Yunji offered the two Daluo Golden Immortals a chance to live if they surrendered the Que-Destroying Soul-Startling Bell, and they agreed.

• Jiu Lu chose the Five-Dragon Mirage Qi Pot, and Lin Yunji gave it to him.
• Lin Yunji kept the Que-Destroying Soul-Startling Bell and pondered what to do with it, since its powers overlapped with treasures he already owned.

Lin Yunji refined the Que-Destroying Soul-Startling Bell and learned it could negate the present to escape danger, though he remained cautious about his strength. Kunsheng’s attempt to curse him failed because his treasures protected his fortune, while Lin Yunji continued cultivating in the rotting tree hollow.

• Lin Yunji refined the Que-Destroying Soul-Startling Bell, making it another of his life-bound Law Treasures.
• Lin Yunji realized the bell severed and negated the present rather than changing the past, allowing him to replace an unfavorable outcome if survival remained possible.

• Kunsheng used the Great Fortune Veiling Incense Burner to curse Lin Yunji, but the Jade Butterfly of Creation and Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda blocked the curse.
• Lin Yunji emerged from his contemplation in the rotting tree hollow, where three vicious beast snakes lay prostrate beside their shed skins.

Lin Yunji granted three vicious beast snakes a cultivation method before fleeing the Mandala Realm to avoid pursuit by its Supremes. He crossed into the Great Cold Domain, while wondering whether his Attribute Panel’s unexplained 2% indicated a realm beyond Supreme Primordial Unity.

• Lin Yunji left the snakes, who bowed to him repeatedly, unaware that his kindness would eventually lead to three Supremes arising in the Source Realm.
• Lin Yunji concealed his tracks with the Jade Butterfly of Creation and fled the Mandala Realm after Kunsheng ordered his capture.
• Lin Yunji checked his panels and suspected that the Attribute Panel’s newly displayed 2% might eventually unlock a realm beyond Supreme Primordial Unity.
• Lin Yunji crossed into the Great Cold Domain after choosing a route through the Lesser Cold Domain, which had formed from a world brought to the Source Realm by Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable.

• Lin Yunji chose to cross the Lesser Cold Domain to reach the Great Sage Realm and then travel to Void Heaven.

• The four Supremes revealed that Kunsheng had promised a Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure and a future favor to whoever killed Lin Yunji.
• Lin Yunji condemned the ambush, unleashed the Universe Furnace cultivation method, and summoned his four Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasures.
• Lin Yunji fought the four Supremes and routed them in less than half an incense stick's time.

Lin Yunji openly challenged the Supremes who came after him, defeating them without killing them and building enough influence to earn the Heaven-Monitoring Hall. He discovered the treasure could trace karma to spy on others and warn him of threats, while Patriarch Cansha contacted him and promised the Source Realm would not unite against him as long as he did not kill indiscriminately.

• Lin Yunji abandoned his plan to hide and traveled openly through the Lesser Cold Domain, defeating the Supremes who challenged him while sparing their lives.
• Lin Yunji’s influence rose past 100,000, earning him the Heaven-Monitoring Hall, a Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure that could trace karma and observe connected targets.
• Lin Yunji found that Shi Mang, Patriarch Cansha, and Kunsheng were difficult to spy on; Shi Mang and Kunsheng concealed their Qi signatures, while Patriarch Cansha sensed Lin Yunji and contacted him.
• Patriarch Cansha told Lin Yunji that the Source Realm would not unite against him if he avoided indiscriminate killing, and Lin Yunji thanked him.
• Lin Yunji learned that the Heaven-Monitoring Hall could monitor his own karma, warn him when someone planned to attack, and reveal the attacker.

Lin Yunji defeated two Supremes who came after him, then received the Seal of Samsara as a mission reward and struggled to decide who should use it. The chapter ended when the Heaven-Monitoring Hall warned him that an extremely dangerous expert had touched his karma, but the expert’s identity and traces were obscured.

• Lin Yunji forced two Supremes to submit, blasted one’s body apart, renamed the other’s Primordial Expanse Qiankun Seal the Turtle Seal, and sent both away.
• Lin Yunji’s influence reached three hundred and eighty thousand, earning him three hundred sextillion Breakthrough Points and the Seal of Samsara.
• Lin Yunji learned that refining the Seal of Samsara could let someone comprehend a path to becoming a Supreme Primordial Unity, and considered giving it to Nüwo, Cult Master Tongtian, or another close companion.
• Lin Yunji decided to postpone choosing a recipient until he had established himself in the Source Realm and found a suitable Daoist sanctuary.
• The Heaven-Monitoring Hall warned Lin Yunji that an extremely dangerous expert had touched his karma, but its display could not reveal the expert’s traces.

Lin Yunji faced Mo Han, an assassin sent by Kunsheng, and battled her three spear strikes with his destructive power and treasures. After surviving his counterattack and re-forming, Mo Han unleashed her final attack, and Lin Yunji summoned the Jade Butterfly of Creation to strengthen himself.

• Lin Yunji chose to wait for his pursuer, and Mo Han of the Lesser Cold Domain appeared, saying Kunsheng had entrusted her with killing him.
• Mo Han explained that Kunsheng owed her a promise, then attacked with her spear, Cold Phoenix, and Lin Yunji shattered her first strike with destructive power.

• Mo Han re-formed and unleashed her third strike, multiplying her icy power and killing intent.
• Lin Yunji summoned the Jade Butterfly of Creation to empower his body, and Mo Han frowned at the sight of it.

Lin Yunji defeated Mo Han and pursued her into the Great Cold Domain, where its crushing desolation nearly erased them both. He carried Mo Han back out after reaching a strange world and encountering a silent, shadowy figure.

• Mo Han summoned six Supreme-realm avatars, each wielding a Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure, and they attacked Lin Yunji together.
• Lin Yunji fought the seven Mo Hans with Universe Furnace, eventually breaking Mo Han’s spear and destroying her six avatars.
• Mo Han fled toward the Great Cold Domain, but Lin Yunji pursued her using the Heaven-Monitoring Hall.
• Deep inside the Great Cold Domain, Lin Yunji caught up to Mo Han near a silent figure in a black-and-white world, where Mo Han could no longer move.
• Lin Yunji carried Mo Han out of the Great Cold Domain and emerged exhausted, relieved to have survived.

After defeating and saving Mo Han, Lin Yunji learned more about her reputation and continued to the Great Sage Realm, where Shi Mang welcomed him to the Ancestral Land. He declined Shi Mang’s offer to establish a Dao sanctuary there and joined a feast with Shi Mang and Xuan Luo’s disciple.

• Lin Yunji recovered from his battle with Mo Han, accepted her acknowledgment of the debt, and let her leave without demanding repayment.
• Lin Yunji wondered whether the being he had seen in the Great Cold Domain was the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable.
• Lin Yunji learned that Mo Han was a ranked Supreme known as Immortal Lord Mo Han, and news of her defeat discouraged others from challenging him.
• Lin Yunji entered the Great Sage Realm, where Shi Mang invited him to visit the Ancestral Land and explained its origins as the remains of an Ancient Dragon Supreme.
• Lin Yunji declined Shi Mang’s offer to establish a Dao sanctuary in the Ancestral Land and attended a feast with Shi Mang and Xuan Luo’s disciple.

• At a banquet, Shi Mang told Lin Yunji that he wanted help exploring a forbidden zone in the Ancient Realm.
• Shi Mang explained that the zone was protected by a formidable formation that required two people to attack its gates of life simultaneously.
• Shi Mang said the forbidden zone might contain the remains of a being as powerful as the five Great Origin Venerables.
• Lin Yunji considered the danger and his desire to discover what lay beyond the Supreme realm, then agreed to help Shi Mang.
